COLUMBIA, S. C.

A Rabbinic*! l'unfcrtncc.
'The two oldest Jewish rabbis in the
Uni tod States,'Dr's'. ~S. Alder and D. Ein?
horn, of New, York city, have issued a
call for a Rabbinical Conference,, for the
purpose of introducing reforms. The
oall is as follows:
Jewish religious life bas in the past |
years, under the blessings of liberty,
very auspiciously advanced. Reformed
Judaism has become a power from which
even the so-called orthodox congrega?
tions cannot exclude themselves any
longer, and all that is required to more
firmly establish the maintenance of this
power, and to spread it in more extended
spheres, is the concurrence of like think?
ing rabbis on the principles, not the
form of modern worship, and the solu?
tion of various practical religious, espe?
cially marital questions, whioh concern
Ufe so deeply, and which, in a great mea?
sure, are decided in most positive con?
tradiction against the principles of re?
form, and acoording to the Schuloan
Arnon.
The undersigned beg, therefore, to in?
vite their theologically educated col?
leagues who favor decided religions pro?
gress to a Rabbinical Conference, to be
Afild sometime after the coming holidays,
*Wit% a request to communicate their de?
cision ?o soon as practicable to ono of
the undersigned, and, if fn the affirma?
tive case, to designate their wishes as to
tho time and place of thc conference.
The Jewish Times, which publishes
Ibis oall,,makes the folio wing comment's
upon it, whioh we quote to show the ob
jeot of the calk The Messenger qaya:
"Sueh a Conference, a desideratum for
:years, tuts now.become an absolute ne
.ceasUy, In this country, where no ne?
cessity ezitts to temporize and oompro
Tmise, where those who are in sympathy
with the ideas of progress congregate
together, and need make no concessions
to those who yetare tied with iron chains
to the habits of the past, the advocates
of decided positive reform should' come
out boldly and proolaim their views aud
principles, and bring uboutn harmony
of practice with the weight and authori?
ty whioh snob a conference would im?
part Such questions as'divorces by the
civil courts, the Levirate marriage, and
others of a like pressing nature, want an
authoritative solution. A concurrent de?
claration should establish forever, if in
our Agenda prayers for the restitution
of animal sacrifice for a personal Mes?
siah, a reconstruction of a temporal
kingdom in Palestine, and the Hebrew
language, as the principal language of
prayer, are to be retained, and whether
reformed Judaism is to drop obselete
customs whioh have no longer any mean?
ing and significance in our days.
DIABOLICAL,.-The Tribune gives the '
following advice to its radical friends in
this State. If they attempt to carry it
out, a condition of things will be inau?
gurated here compared to whioh the
condition of Arkansas under Clayton's
negro militia rule would be elysium.
Does the Tribune not know that those
who it persists in calling rebels held in
ch ?ck the vast armies of the Federal Go
vernment for more than four years, and
proved to the world that at the game of
"shooting" they were equal, if not supe?
rior, to any troops the world ever saw?
Does the saintly Horace protend to be?
lieve that these same rebels can be indis?
criminately ?hot down in cold blood by
a few cowardly white miscreants, backed
by a horde of semi-barbarous negroes,
without bringing ou a collidion, iu which
its friends will speedily go to tho wall?
Is not the advice given with the view to
bring about the speedy and certain de?
struction of the negro raoe, whose pecu?
liar friend he proposes to be?
We tell the Tribune that when it be
gins "to shoot down every rebel who op?
poses its party" that it will havo begun a
work which will make all the devils iu
Pandemonium rejoice us they have not
rejoiced since the days of Murat and Ro?
bespierre.
See what tho TWftune teaches: r!
"Let tho whole State organizo into
societies-secret societies; and when ra1
bels commit their diabolical horrors upon
them Kecause of their opinions-, retaliate
at a ten-fold ratio. For every life that
is taken lay every lionse id ashes withiu
five mile? of the spot where such blood
is spilled. Shoot down every rebel who
opposes you, and turn the horrors back
upon those Who are daily repeating thom
upon loyal people. Do it! and God wijl
be your shield !'? /
We say do it,'and a just God will in?
terpose a shield and buckler for the
deeply wronged white men of the'South,
and under His good providence wo have
no fear for the result.

TAKING THE POOL.-Good conduct nt
Sunday-school sectus to be differently re?
warded in different localities. lu a cer?

for instance, each soholur that is in bi?

to school one Sunday, observed a class of
jsix or seven boys, aged from seven to
twelve years, all of respectable parent?
age, throwing dice for who should win

GRANT, BUTLER AND SMITH.-The fol?
lowing letter of General Grant, which
hoe been lately published, is interesting

iting Grant's estimate of Butler:
LETTER FROM GENERAL GRANT IN 1864.
"Headquarters Army of United Slates,
City Point. Va., July 1, 1864.-Major
Gem-nil HaUeok, Wendling, D C.: Mr.
Dunn. Assistant Secretary of War, bus
just returned. He informa me that he
called attention tu tbe necessity of send?
ing Gen. Butler to another field f duty.
Whilst I have no difficulty with Gen.
Butler, finding bini always olear in his
conception of orders, and prompt lo
obey, yet tbpre ia a want of knowledge
how to execute, and particularly a preju?
dice against him HP. a commander, that
operates against his usefulness. I have
feared that it might become necessary tu
separate him and Goo. Bmith. Tbe lat?
ter is really one of the most edi ci eut offi?
cers in tho service, readiest in expedients,
and most skillful in the management of
troops in action. I would dislike re?
moving him from his present command,
unless it was to increase it, but, us I say,
I may have to do it if Gen. Butler re?
mains.
"As an administrative officer Gen.
Butler has no superior. In taking charge
of a department where there are no bat?
tles to be fought, but a dissatisfied ele?
ment to oontrol, no one could manage it
better than be. If a command could be
cut out, euob nr. Mr. Dana proposed,
namely: Kentucky, Illinois and Iudiitua;
or if the Department of the Missouri,
Kansas, and the States of Illinois aud In?
diana con ld be emerged together, and
Gen. Butler put over it, I think the good
of the service would be subserved.
"I regret tbe necessity of asking for n
obange in commanders here, but Geu.
Butler, not being a soldier by education
or experience, is in the bande of his sub?
ordinates in the execution of all opera?
tions military. I would feel strengthened
with Bmith, Franklin or J. J. Reynolds,
commanding tbe right wing of the army.
At the same time, as I have here stated,
Gen. Butler bat always been prompt in
bis obedience to orders from me, nud
clear in bis understanding of them. 1
would not, therefore, be willing to re?
commend bis retirement.
"I send this by mail for consideration,
but will telegraph if I think it absolutely
necessary to make a change.

A DETHRONED KINO.-Cotton can
never again be king in America, und ab?
solutely rule over us, yet its broken
sceptre, made whole ouoe more, will,
after a while, make ita power felt ai
home and abroad.
The distress of the English cotton
operatives during tbe rebellion, did
much to foster the ill-will of the lower
chucees against'thia conutry, and- Eng?
land took advantage of tbe occasion to
establish the growth of that staple in
many of her dependencies, but so unsiio
oessfully, that it in estimated hy the
British Board of Trade, I hui there "are
in England 5,000 - people less earning
their living in- c >ttou munn factored,
tbnn there were before the it hellion."
? The present appearances now of th"
cotton crop-South is not altogether fa-'
vorable, yet- when tbe schemes of the

she will not hereafter raise larger aud
better crops ..iban she ever did. Her
labor will be more skilled, her planters
more intelligent, ana ber agricultural

Thu British Board of Trade estimate
above referred to also shows that instead
of their now being 60,000 leas cotton
operatives than before the war, in the
natural order of the laws of trade, there

tbongh resulting In the injury of seV?ml
paasengers, was not so disastrous in its
.effects as from tho peculiar cdroamstancea
mi/{ht have been expected.
The train consisted of the engine, ten?

ladies' car, chair car, two sleeping cars
nod a special car-tho latter" occnp??'d~by
General Grant, Mrs, Grant and two chil?
dren, Mr. Cramer, Consul at Leipsig,
(brother-in-law of the President.) and
wife, and Hon. Seoretary Boutwell, who
were en routs North.
The train, being a through one, did
not stop at way stations, and was pro?
ceeding nt full speed, and when reaching
a poiut about 250 -yards North of the
junction, in a deep cut, where a County
road crosses, a cow appeared upon the
track, whioh was caught up by the cow?
catcher and thrown up the bank.
Many of the passengers in the cars
whioh went off the track were violently
thrown from their seats, und several re?
ceived injuries; though, with but one
exception, that of Mr. barnool Weil, of
Atlanta, Ga., none were, it is believed,
seriously hurt. Immediately there were
frantic cries and much alarm.
The next oar, occupied by ladies, was
also turned over npou one side diago?
nally across the track, and was badly
broken and shattered. The passengers
were thrown together in a mass, but
none were, it is believed, seriously hurt.
A colored woman, having a child in her
anos of M ra. Lincoln, of Washington,
bud lier collar-bone fractured by being
thrown violently against the oar.
The child was also somewhat injured,
thouub it is thought not seriously.
Others in the car received bruises, slight
cut?. Ao.
The smoking-car fared tho worst, il
being overturned and whirled around
endwise upon the track. It was verj
badly smashed up, and it was in this cir
that most all of the injuries to passen
gera occurred. The Mr. Weil referrer!
to an being seriously injured was seater
in this car. He was on bis way to No?
York, with a view of proceeding to Eu
rope. His injuries aro principally abou
the head, he having been badly bruise<
aud received a severe cut ou the left sub
of his head aud face, extending from i
Hhort distance above thu forehead ti
about au inch below the left eye, so thu
it is believed the sight of thu latter i
entirely destroyed. He was taken np in
sensible, but in time recovered conscious
ness, and the physician in attendant
reports that he is doing well, and is no
ueceasarily dangerously wounded, thong
he is believed to be injured more or le
interually as well as externally.
The second passenger car was nc
shattered as badly as either of the othe
two, but was badly broken, nor wer
any of tho passengers seriously injuree
though several received bruises, ?fcc.
Tho forward end of one of the aleej
ing cars was considerably smashed, bi
noue of the passengers were injured.
The special car, occupied by Genen
Grant and family, escaped without ii
jury.

STATEMENT OF A PASSENGER.
Mr. Julian A Selby, editor of the (
lamb?a (S. C.) PHO&NIX, was a paeseng
and was seated with a lady in the ladi
car, tho second One that went off <
track. His statement conveys an it
of tho alarm und wonderful features
the scene, and especially the min?enlo
ness of the escape from death and iuji
of KO many. Thu locomotive, mail II
baggage car ran some distance ahead
fore they were checked. The sijioki
cur, filled with passengers, was thro
..cross the track, willi one end elevu
at least ten feet up the embankment, ti
turned completely upside down i
wrecked, several of thu occupants bei
seriously hurt. Tho ladies.' car follow
and was'tolerably filled with passeng?
mostly ladies and children. | lt <
thrown on its side directly across
truck, the eada resting on thu banks
both sides of the track.
Tho scene presented wa^"i. j nerei
be forgotten. Mr. Selby BAy.t that li?
ing the noise of the car ahead ruun
- -.^HH?TnlMMlMiiil-- - - -mm
j OD th? or?ss-ties, and the breaking and
crash; as it went over, and feeling tho jar
in the car in which ho was sitting, ho
braced himself in bis sent, poising him?
self as tbe oar went over. He seized hold
of tba seat with one hand, holding on to
tho lady ia his company, and firmly sup?
porting ber with the othor arm, and as
thomar was clued around and over on its
aide; individuals wero indiscriminately
Jumbled pell-mell together upon the side,
which rested some three feet from the
ground. Mr. Selby found himself be?
neath a number of fellow-passengers,
male and female, who were soon strug?
gling amid tho din. and alarm for extrica?
tion. In the catastrophe all tho lights
hud been extinguished, and men, women
and children were screaming at the top
of their voices, and, all being in total
darkness, no one could tell at the timo
tbe extent of tho accident, or ascertain
who had been injured, or who had es?
caped. There was no chance of egress
from the oar by the doors, its ends be?
ing embedded in the banks. Following
the promptings of instinct, Mr. Selby,
who had maintained a pretty good posi?
tion, and never lost his presence of mind,
knocked out a window-sash, which be
felt below him, with hie foot, and creep?
ing out from beneath the ruins, wus ut
once in n position to relieve others. One
after another, then, he received women
and children in that car, ns they wero
brought forward, and handed out by
other mole passengers. An aged lady
fell through one of the windows, and had
her bead badly cut, andan infant, aud its
colored nurse were burt badly,"but with
these exceptions, the passengers in this
car all escaped serious injnry, although
no one got off without bruises. Tho
chair-car followed, and crashing against
tho dilapidated ladios's car, was also
thrown on its sido, and the passengers
shared about the same fate of those in
the ladies* car. The sleeping cars were
also thrown off, but not upset, aud no
ouo in them was hurt. The President's
car remained ou the track, and nouo
were disturbed in it.
"While Furguson's Mississippians (nod
a rare set. they? were) were passing
through Unionville, South Carolina, en
route for tho Tar Hiver country, they
passed, in winding through the streets
of the village, the dwelling of that hos?
pitable gentleman, that pure patriot,
that learned lawyer and spotless jurist.
Judge-. Tho distinguished Judge
is said, withal, to be the finest looking
mau in the State. But hospitality, nor
learning, nor patriotism, nor purity of
ermine, nor stately demeanor could save
him from tho jeers of the "boys in grey."
The judge stood in the porch of his ele?
gant mansion, surrounded by a crowd of
lady friends. A cadaverous swamper
from the jungles of the Yuzoo swamps,
cried out:
"Ain't you ashamed, old man, with
your white har, to be sparkiu' young
gals in public?"
A billious specimen of chills and fever
shouted "that gal with the red head is
mine."
Another yelled, "that blue-eyed ono
is tho gal for mo." A fourth, "curly
head belongs to me.'" A lift h stopped,
and, staring nt tbe dignified Judge,
said, "Bill, ain't that old fellow got a
round, pooty face like a dorg."
The Judge retired, so did tbe Indies.
A SiNounAK GROTJP.-Last night, at
one of our restaurants, there was a sin?
gular group drinking wine at a small
table. One of them bad been a Confed?
erate soldier, and bis right arro had
been shot off nearly up to the elbow.
Another had lost his right arm in the
Federal service, aud it had been taken
off close to the shoulder. The other
man appeared to be a Federal officer, but
complained of no disabilities of any
sort. The ex-Confederato declared that
had John Bell been elected President,
the unhappy war would never have
come. The large, whole gentleman
thought the election of Douglass would
have acted as a soothing preventive. Tie
mun who had lost nearly the Whole if
his right arm declared that he had bee?
an original Massachusetts Abolitionist,
and that be had fought well, but that
bud be lived in tba South, he would
have fought just as well for the stars and
bars. An a moro emphatic expression
of friendly sentiment, they employed a
couple of strolling Italian mnsiciuns to
play between drinks "The Bonnie Binn
Flag," "Yankee Doodle," "Dixie,"
"Rally 'round tte flag,: boys," and thc
Marseilaise by mn.
One day during the hard winter tit
1803, a Miss Arnold applied to General
Milrojr fofia pasmit to get forage for ber
cow, whose milk'was the chief Siipport
of the family.
"Are you loyal?" asked tbe General.
"Yes," Shi replied.
He began to write tho permit-"To

**Totho Codfederacy, of course,H she
replied.
"Then' ? ?hui! give you no permit.
This infamous rebellion must bc crush?

"Well," said she, "if you ann orusb it

"Great A, little a, r o-n-ron."
"Very well; Ichabod, see if you can

"Yes, sir. Great country, little coun?

"Go up bead."

At ? late boor Tuesday night quito a
bridal party arrived in the city, and put
up at ono of our hotels. Tho bride was
accompanied by two of her yoong lady
friends,' and the groom by two gent?o
raen. .The names were registered in the
usual way, but in Borne way a mistake
was made iu reference to tho identity of
tho bride. The boars sped ou towards
the dawn, and the bride in her silent
chamber waited the appearance of her
lord. Yet he came not. Surely, he was
not sitting up all thia time. The rest of
the party had retired she Aros certain,
since she had heard thom in their apart?
ments!
What had become of him? Impatience
gradually grew into terror.
She rang her bell, and the servant
knocked nt the door.
"Do you know whore my husband is?"
she inquired.
"Ain't ho in here, mum?"
"No!"
"May be he stepped out into the city,
mam, and will be back directly."
"I'm afraid; oh, do inquire nt the of?
fice, and see if there is any intelligence
abont him."
Tho servant retired, and in a few mo?
ments returned with information thnt
there was none. The wifo was now
ular mod in - earnest. She never had a
husband beforo, and, liko tho man who
drew the elephant in tho lottery, scarcely
knew what to do with the animal.
In her anxiety she went to the room of
one of her bridesmaids, and knocked at
the dcor,
"Who's there?" was inquired in ac?
cents unmistakably masculine.
"Me, Mary; but, mercv, who are
yon?"
There waa a sudden stir, and tho sound
of feet falling heavily on tho carpeted
floor. ??nu
"Who the devil am I iu bod with
then?" she heard the man say, ne the
door swnng open, and her husband's face
peered.
"Oh! I am distracted about you; whore
havo j'en been ?" j
"I've been here in bed; but, dence take
me, I thought you were here, too."
"Oh! James, it was n'a me." I i
"Who is it thou?" \
"Why. it's Sarnh."
"Tho devil!"
"Ob, no, James, it was Sarah."
"Didn't you know it. James?".
"Blast mo, if I did! I found her
nsloep, aud thinking this was our room,
I crept into bed, and went to sleep," re?
plied James, evidently impressed with
tho iden that he had a difficult caso to
argue. j
"Is she asleep yet, James?"
"Why, don't yon hear her snore?"
But j list then Sarah waked up, and
seeing a man in her own room, set up a
succession of ecreeohes that soon filled
tho hall with people.
And now the bridegroom found him?
self in a delicate position. Ip the hurry
of explaining the matter to his wife, he
had neglected to put on his pants; and
now in his eager search for them, he was
dancing around the room like one pos?
sessed; now and then imploring Sarah to
hush.
"I'm going, don't you . see!" But
Sarah was seeing too much, and she
couldn't hush; and the wife in the hall,
hemmed in by tho eager crowd, had tried
to explaiu; but, failing in this, had leaned
her head against the wall, and was en?
joying a hearty ;?cry. .j
At Inst, however, the pants were found
and pnt on, and the husband (ind wife
escaped to their' chamber, whilst Miss
Sarah double locked ber door against all
further intrusion j Tho next morning ex?
planations were ?one into, but there's no
denying that bol h the ladies were the
least bit incredulous, and it is said a per?
ceptible coldness bas grown up between
them, whilst the unintentionally offund
ing bridegroom walks about a good deal,
his head down, and evidently indulging
in unpleasant meditations. '.

Its office is two-fold. It provides mate?
rial for the regeneration of all parts, and
?cceiving the products of their waste, it
conveys them to proper organs for re?
moval from tbe system. Thus it carries
life to the body, and removing therefrom

body, tho great nourisher of the tissues,
the very life ol the flesh, tho very es?
sence of health. HEINITSH'S QUEEN DE?
LIGHT is the great medicine for the blood,
